๐ค Is gluten really as harmful as some claim? As a Registered Dietitian, Iโm here to clarify those myths and help you navigate your relationship with gluten!
With gluten being demonized online and every health coach suggesting you cut it from your diet, do their claims really have any proof? Will gluten increase disease risks? Is eating gluten giving you brain fog? And what if you switch to gluten-free foods? Are they really any better?
In this episode, I break down some common claims I see repeatedly and share my opinions on whether they are true or not, with some backed-up studies.

Almost every time that someone comes to me looking for help with their binge eating, they tell me, โThey've tried everythingโ. And in the end, the problem has only gotten worse.
You may be struggling like this, too, wondering why everything you try and do to help your situation never truly gets better.
After working with many clients and digging into it, Iโve teased out what I feel are the top five things that almost everyone who struggles with binge eating has tried at some point. Whether youโre trying low carb or macro counting, maybe itโs who you seek help with. Iโm not just talking about these reasons but explaining WHY they arenโt helping you.
Make sure to tune in. Youโll be interested in hearing point 5, which could make your binge eating worse.

"I just want to eat like a normal person"
This is what women who struggle with a toxic relationship with food often say... and who can blame them!? Struggling with your relationship with food SUCKS and it adds an unnecessary burden to one's life. It's completely reasonable for someone to want normalcy in their life when they haven't experienced it for years, maybe even decades.
So how do we reach this fantasy land of eating like normal?
I've got some insights for you (from my closet today, lol) on what's happening in the brain which is making it extra hard for some to be a "normal eater", and what we need to do to fix it. ๐ง

Are you ready to challenge everything you thought you knew about intuitive eating and the anti-diet movement? As someone who has been a huge fan of intuitive eating, lately I've started to see some flaws in it.
Have you ever questioned the cherry-picked data and misleading narratives these intuitive eating coaches push? And what about the contradiction between intuitive eating's support for body autonomy and its rejection of intentional weight loss? These are just two of the 5 icks I open up about in today's episode.
As a reminder what I share is just my take, it might not hit home for everyone who's into intuitive eating, anti-diet vibes, or Health at Every Size. These are just my general observations and I'd love to hear what you think too!

Is Intuitive Eating really any different from just not dieting? ๐ค Why is it so hard to know what it is and how to do it? But at the same time, you hear people say it's easy to do, and the most sustainable solution for a lifetime of a healthy and nourishing relationship with food. So what's going on? Why are there so many polarizing opinions on the topic?
In this episode, I'm breaking down the myths, misconceptions and mistakes I commonly see when someone starts to eat intuitively. I'm also putting it up against not dieting and how intuitive eating has its own process, as well as how reverse dieting isn't the same as intuitive eating (hint: that's still a diet, while intuitive eating isn't) ๐ซ
So if you've been curious about healing your relationship with food by intuitively eating but weren't sure how it differs from just not dieting then this episode is made for you!

I'm diving deep into the latest Netflix doc You Are Where You Eat and sharing my views as a registered dietitian. If you haven't heard about it yet, it's a study on identical twins changing their diets and lifestyles for eight weeks in a unique scientific experiment designed to explore how certain foods impact the body.
My husband Vincent is joining me on this one, and we're both scratching our heads over some of the stuff they claimed. We stayed silent the whole way through while watching all 4 episodes so we could wait to discuss our thoughts while micโd up for the podcast. Listen live as we reveal our thoughts to each other on this episode from the perspective of a registered dietitian + my husband (representing a normal viewer).
From what they did well, uncovering the bad, and the downright bizarre, we're laying it all out there for you. Here's my honest reaction with a bonus of my husband's target viewer opinion.
For my fully researched and complete review, read the article here.
